Jason Robert Brown
Caravan of Angels
[Verse 1]
I know a room in Memphis, Tennessee
With our names written over the bed
There is a rose in Southern Italy
Growing right in the spot where you once laid your head
I have a picture from Mexico
Of a hammock built for two
[Chorus]
And there's you and me, and caravan of angels
Following us close behind
You and me, and a caravan angels
Anyway the road will wind
Maybe we'll find the wine has turned
The fireworks have gone
There's still you and me
And the caravan we're leading on
(Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
In Illinois, I'm told there's a ghost
In the house where I first made you cry
And there's a phone only minutes from the coast
Where you don't know I heard you tell me a lie
Right at Columbus & 81st
There's a challenge we came through
[Chorus]
And there's you and me, and caravan of angels
Harmonizing every note
Observe, you and me, and a caravan angels
Making sure we stay afloat
And if we wrote a thousand lines
But couldn't find the song
There's still you and me
And the caravan to sing along
[Bridge]
There on the freeway, there on the plain
There on the playground slide
Crowding around us, forming a border
Two whole lifetimes wide
[Pre-Chorus]
I wrote some words on a Hallmark card
That I wasn't sure were true—
[Chorus]
Until you and me, and caravan of angels
Trusting how the river flows
There goes you and me, and a caravan angels
How they found us, nobody knows
And only those who see this well
Can tell how love is blind
[Coda]
'Cause there's you and me
And the summer, and the sea
And the big red sun, and the tall oak tree
And the people that we call a family
There's just you and me
And the caravan that we define, oh
[Outro]
It's a caravan of angels
Watching over us
It's a caravan of angels
Everywhere we go
There they are, there they are
A caravan of angels
A caravan of angels
Oh, alright
It's just a caravan of angels
A caravan of angels
Watching over us
A caravan of angels
